Description
This wonderful mantel was salvaged from a Philadelphia Victorian Home.
It is made of mixed woods and is painted.
The shelf steps out at the ends with carved capitals below.
Below the capitals are wonderful carved pilasters with greek nudes, cornucopias and carved angel heads with wings.
The breast has large carved fruit and swags from end to end.
All the carvings are done in oak but everything else is pine.
The sides wrap around the chimney with flat recessed panels.
It measures 66 inches wide, 47.75 tall, and is 15.5 inches deep.
The firebox opening is 49 inches wide by 37.25 tall.
Overall, it is in good condition. There are misc. scratches, light cracks and dings as it is antique. It is disassembled, 2 legs, shelf with breast and a trim piece. There is a missing molding below the carving on the breast, a plain p trim piece and on the right side return there is a missing piece of flat trim at the top. We stripped a couple small sections to show better detail. It could use a good cleaning. Please look at the pictures carefully.

Shipping
We
have a 16 foot box truck for salvage jobs and delivery trips. We
generally make delivery trips along the I-85 and I-95 corridors to
central Florida and the Florida panhandle in January.
In
spring and fall we go from Pennsylvania to Atlanta, over to Houston, up
to Kansas City and St. Louis then up into Iowa, Chicago and home
through Michigan and Ohio. Trips to NYC and New England are as needed.
We can personally deliver if you are somewhat close to these routes much cheaper than freight or uship. Outside these areas it would be best to check uship.com for delivery quotes.
Payment
Payment should be made within 5 business days unless you make other arrangements in advance.
Terms of Sale
I accept returns only if my description is inaccurate. For example, if I pull an item from a building that I believe to be original to the house and it is later discovered to be a reproduction, or if I enter an incorrect measurement, I will allow the buyer to return the item. I describe all my items as accurately as possible with descriptions and often pictures of any damage. I try to measure within 1/8 of an inch.
About Us
My salvage business was born of necessity in 1993 when I started restoring an old Victorian home that had seen better days. I needed doors, staircase parts, fireplace mantles and more, so I contacted the owners of a few local buildings that were scheduled for demolition. I found and purchased all of the things that I needed for my project and lots of extra treasures which I eventually resold. 17 years later this is still my full time job! I salvage whatever I can think can be reused as long as there is room in my warehouse. The warehouse is open for treasure hunting anytime by appointment. Just contact me to schedule a day and time! Thanks for visiting. Steve and Michelle
